Matthew,Yes, I refer members to that site frequently, great reference source.

I appreciate the links guys, however if you read the opening post, the topic of this thread is for members to nominate ONE locomotive, including a picture or a link to the picture, for the "Most Beautiful Locomotive". Winning locomotive will be judged by a plurality if there is one. It may just end in a tie, in which case they are all winners.

Lots of great looking locomotives (except for the ice cream wagon), takes some thought to pin it down to just one. There's another thread going for the "Ugliest". (hint, hint)

Greetings from Albuquerque (Y. Bob: be advised that every day brings us closer to Colorado...he, he). I absolutely have to agree with OkieRick...that is one beautiful American! Look at the decoration; observe the locomotive's lines; check out those huge drivers...poetry in motion (well...when it is moving).

Another vote for the Norfolk & Western Class J. I lived in southern Ohio (Portsmouth, Cincinnati) when these streamlined steam powered beauties pulled the Powhatan Arrow and Pocahontas passenger trains along the Ohio River. They were hard to beat for looks, strength, speed, and durability.
